Re: How can I tell which lights I have
I had one of my xenons causing a fault earlier in the year and it was deemed to be the ballast. Mine would ignite first time ok, but I you turned them off then straight back on, the dodgy one wouldn't fire up and the message appeared. Also, if the lights were on for 1.5 - 2.0 hrs, the lamp would ...

A simple question regarding the control illuminations for you on the E53 Should the rear passenger heater controls have illumination or not as the kids had quite a 'vocal' challenge trying to see the temp position in the dark last night. Also, should the temp dial on the centre dash vent illuminate ...

Re: MPG 3.0D 2002
Right then. Over the last 1300 miles, 5 up with the boot laden, cruise control set at 75 on the motorways ( most of the distance ) and driving sensibly, I managed to attain 29 mpg, not quite the obc's 34 but hell, when have they ever been right? The car has the mixed map too. How does that compare t...

Re: Expanding/enlarging the tank (LPG).
